11.Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio.These public media receive money to operate from private citizens,organizations and government.Many of their programs are educational.But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit.These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years.Newspapers,magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity.At the same time,online,cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength.So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages.
In general,more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment.At the same time,fewer owners control them.Huge companies have many holdings(股份).In some areas,one company controls much of the media.One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television.It comes into most homes over wires.It does not use the public airwaves to present programs,as broadcast television does.Like broadcast television,most cable television programs perform advertisements.This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes.Thirty years ago,few people had cable.Today,about sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television.Television by satellite also is gaining popularity.
Over the years,traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible.Many cable companies,however,present programs for one special group of viewers.For example,there are cable stations for people who like books,cooking,travel,golf or comedy.

24.Which of the following is true about American public media?D
A.They depend on the government.
B.They are controlled by the government
C.They are free
D.They can earn money.
25.Which of the following properly shows the change in these privately owned media?B
A.Newspapers are getting more popular.
B.Satellite media is getting more popular.
C.Traditional media also serve racial groups.
D.Some media make their programs in foreign languages
26.From the second paragraph,we learn thatA.
A.broadcast TV and cable TV programs include sales messages
B.more media are out of control
C.American media is dramatic
D.cable TV is free
27.What would be the best title for the text?C
A.American news and entertainment
B.Public television and radio media
C.media in the United States
D.Cable programs in the United States.

分析 近些年私营传媒发生了很大改变,报纸、杂志和传统广播电视受欢迎程度逐渐下滑,而网络、有线电视和卫星电视的受众逐渐增加.

解答 24.D.细节理解题.根据"But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit"可知大部分美国传媒是为了营利,故选D.
25.B.推理判断题.根据"These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years.以及后文online,cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength"可知卫星电视越来越受欢迎,故选B.
26.A.推理判断题.根据"Like broadcast television,most cable television programs perform advertiseme Nts"可知广播电视和有线电视都有广告,故选A.
27.C.主旨大意题.根据第一段Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio.These public media receive money to operate from private citizens,organizations and government可知文章最好的标题为美国的传媒;故选C.

1.One afternoon,after finishing shopping in a supermarket,my family and I went to the checkout.I suddenly thought we didn't need any of the junk,and we abandoned all of those,saving $300.
That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life.With a promise that we'd stop if it was killing us,I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality(节俭).The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials.
Our adventure began with a great start.By 9 a.m.,my wife,Ruth,had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn't even know we had in the garden.I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years.I read and returned the neighbor's newspaper before he woke up.Total spending on the first day:$0.
As days turned into weeks,we became so proficient(熟练的)at living frugally.We started riding our bikes to save gas.My child's finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents.We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.
In the end,we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month.When we began,I imagined we would rush out the moment we were don e and buy a lot of things in the supermarket,then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies.

24.We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon,the familyC.
A.had had higher income
B.had had a good habit of saving money
C.had often spent money without thinking much
D.hadn't realized they would have met financial problems
25.How many things were mentioned about the things the family did to save on the first day of the"30days"?B
A.Two            B.Three             C.Four            D.Five
26.The end of the story tells the readers that the familyD.
A.stopped halfway
B.couldn't stand the life of frugality
C.would make up for missing the junk after the"30days"

2.The iPhone,the iPad:each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚):Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter"i"--and many other brands are following suit.The BBC's iPlayer--which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet--used the title in 2008.A lovely bear--popular in the US and UK--that plays music and video is called"iTeddy".A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London's Independent newspaper was started last week under the name"i".
In general,single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s,when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.
Most"I"products are targeted at(针对) young people and considering the major readers of Independent's"I",it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name.
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter"i".Why not use"a","b",or"c"instead?According to Tony Thorne,head of the Language Center at King's College,London,"i"works because its meaning has become ambiguous.When Apple uses"i",no one knows whether it means Internet,information,individual or interactive,Thorne told BBC Magazines."Even when Apple created the iPod,it seems it didn't have one clear definition(定义),"he says.
"However,thanks to Apple,the term is now connected with portability (轻便)."adds Thorne.
Clearly the letter"i"also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual.Each person believes they have their own needs,and we love personalized products for this reason.
Along with"Google"and"blog",readers of BBC Magazines voted"I"as one of the top 20words that have come to define the last decade(十年).
But as history shows,people grow tired of fads.From the 1900s to 1990s,products with"2000"in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern.However,as we entered the new century,the fashion disappeared.

24.The underlined word"ambiguous"means"C".
A.popular
B.clear
C.uncertain
D.unique
25.Nowadays,the"i"term often reminds people of the products which areA.
A.portable
B.environmentally friendly
C.advanced
D.recyclable
26.The writer suggests thatD.
A."i"products are often of high quality
B.iTeddy is alive bear
C.the letter"b"replaces letter"i"to name the products
D.the popularity of"i"products may not last long.

After the Spring Festival,there arises some hot topics,and lucky money is including as well.To collect opinions from the public,an online survey has made these days.
82% of the participants regard lucky money as one of the most important traditional custom,representing good wishes from the elderly to the new generation.Besides,lucky money is the more attractive part for children,it forms the good memory of our childhood.
The rest,however,think bad of it.For one thing,the amount is grown bigger and bigger,making it a heavy load.For another,it has been a good excuse to bribe (贿赂) people in the power,which is bad for building a healthy and harmonious society.
Personally speaking,lucky money is nothing wrong.Only when we know its meaning can you send our hearty wishes to the young.

1.A man came home from work late,tired and found his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy,may I ask you a question?""Yeah,sure,what is it?"replied the man.(36)C"If you must know,I make﹩20?""Oh,"the little boy replied,with his head down.Then he looked up and said,"Daddy,may I borrow﹩10?The father was angry,"If the only reason you asked for that is to borrow some money to buy a silly toy,the you should go to bed."(37)F
After about an hour or so,the man calmed down,and started to think.Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often.(38)E"Are you asleep,son?''He opened the door and asked."No,Daddy,"replied the boy."I've been thinking,maybe I was too hard on you just now,"said the man,"Here's the $10 you asked for."(39)G"Oh,thank you,Daddy!"he yelled.Then,reaching under his pillow he pulled out some small change.(40)B"Why do you want more money if you have already had some?"the father asked angrily.
"Because I didn't have enough,but now I do,"the little boy replied."Daddy,I have $20 now.Can I buy an hour of your time?Please come home earlier tomorrow,I would like to have dinner with you."
